Emotional Oranges, the American R&B duo, has cleared up any misunderstandings regarding a potential collaboration with Danielle from NewJeans. In a statement on Instagram on May 21, they explained that they were actually working on a song for Livvie, Danielle's older sister, and not a collaboration with Danielle. The duo emphasized that they did not intend to cause any confusion and expressed their excitement to meet fans on tour.
The speculation began when Emotional Oranges posted a photo of Danielle in a studio chair, hinting at an upcoming project. The use of an orange emoji, representing Emotional Oranges, and a bunny emoji, associated with NewJeans, fueled the rumors of a collaboration. However, the situation garnered attention due to NewJeans' ongoing legal issues with their agency, ADOR, leading to restrictions on their independent activities. Following the confusion, the post has been removed from their social media.
